Providing information & support to people with MS - Rob Carter - Director of Fundraising and Marketing

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable and complex condition affecting the central nervous system. There is no known cure. The impact of MS can be life changing, not just for those diagnosed but also for their loved ones.

That's why the MS Trust's enquiry service is so important. It is offered completely free of charge, thanks to the kindness and generosity of people like you.Our dedicated, experienced team are available to answer questions via; email, a Freephone line and social media. They provide practical, evidenced-based information on symptoms and matters relating to MS.

You may find these recent stats from our enquiry team interesting:

• The first six months of the year (2019) saw 300+ enquiries, meaning that 2019 is set to be our busiest year for enquiries by some margin.
• The most frequent enquiries were about disease modifying drugs, followed by people concerned their unexplained symptoms might be MS and questions about available benefits.
• The most frequent, asked about symptoms; were pain, altered sensations and relapse.
